A ruined fortress town close to Indore, Mandu is known for its architectural marvel represented by its ancient forts and palaces. It is any archaeologist’s and photographer's treat. Today, it attracts hordes of tourists each year who come here to explore its rich history and culture.

Mandu is a town encased in history and wrapped in mythology. It was established as long back as in the 6th century AD, and has since then been under the rule of various emperors, from the Rajput Parmara rulers of Malwa, to the Mughal Emperor Humayun. This varied history also led to a lot of architectural variation, such as imposing Darwazas, the river flanked Jahaz Mehal, the sloping walled fort- Hindola Mahal and the example of refined Afghan architecture, Hoshang Shah's Tomb. The Lohani Caves and Temple Ruins, and the Neelkanth Palace And Temple also make for exciting day trips from here.

Mandu in monsoon is easily one of the most romantic of places. The pastel shades of its monuments are set off by the brilliant natural green setting, and the loveliness is doubled by its beautiful water bodies — talabs, baolis, kunds, streams, torrents and rivulets. Spread over a flat hilltop, 6 km by 8 km in dimension, Mandu can be easily covered on foot. Only a few remnants of what was once the Mandapa Durg remain today. The most impressive of the Parmar kings' fortifications is Songadh, standing on a slightly detached hill to the west.
